All Indian Rosewood neck

[Nicholasdaniel]

Any one have any experience with these. Looking to put it on an alder tele i will be working on.

Yeah. They feel fantastic.

Sorry I don't have better than a 1.3 megapixel camera phone, but this one is mine,

HIghly recommend! Sounds great and feels even better (with no finish on it!).

How's this work? The better the neck, the worse the photos?  :laughing11:

I have a couple and love them; one note, if left raw and exposed to a lot of sunlight, some Indian rosewood seems to lighten up over time more than others.

I've never had that problem with fretboards..

It's slightly heavier than maple, if that matters at all to you. There's a chart here that shows the weight in pounds per cubic foot of a wide variety of species. Some typical neck woods, with range depending on variety:

Maple 39-47
Mahogany 31-53
Rosewood 50-55
Ebony 69-83

Thank you im not really interested if its top heavy or not more concerned with the tone never tried it before.

Well, rosewood is obviously a top shelf tone wood - high end acoustics nearly always get a rosewood back and sides for instance. They say it tends to the warm side, compared with maple. Like mahogany.

That's what I was thinking that. Possibly having it balance out the brightness of the guitar.
